Ok, Marcia is SUCH an enabler!
We talked about chicken quilts and how I have a lack of fabric stores here and have to order most fabric online, and what arrives in my mailbox?

Thank you SOOOO much Marcia!
Now, we just have to get moving on these quilts!

one more.......
There is a package of chicken tissue, but a naughty little girl cat has swiped them and ran off with them before I could get a picture. Now I have to hunt for them in the house. Silly cat!

ok, I found the tissues...silly cat!

Oh Terri I love all the Chickens! I'll take the quilt when your done and add it to my Antique chicken collection. :D

So cute Teri. What are you going to do with that great fabric.

How fun! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here is the thread that started all this chicken talk

Cute chicken fabrics. Looks like you're going to have fun!!!

OMG! Now, what to do, what to do!

Cute fabrics!

Lovely fabrics! I MUST get started on SOMETHING for the chicken challenge! I've had fabric for ages from butterflywing and another yard I ordered online arrived yesterday - if you start, Terri, then maybe I'll get cracking as well! LOL

K x

LOL
I have no clue what to do, what to do!
I did find some cute fabric online and silly me forgot to peg the site. I'll have to go thru the sites again...think I saw it on Fabshophop.

Very nice. Have fun.

Great fabric!! And Marcia that was very kind of you to do that for Terri.

Kyia

Yes, she was very kind to do that for me. She's such the enabler! Now, I'm scouring the internet looking for chickens lol

What cute fabric!!

Oh my what FABULOUS fabrics!! The egg one is my favorite. Marcia--you are such a sweetheart. :D

Terri--get busy--what pattern are you using?

Okay--I like the realistic looking ones too.

Terri--why not try what I'm doing with the black and white--just make several pieces and fit them together??? Then you can really play!! :D

Such cute fabric!! Marcia is a beautiful person too. In fact, I think there's a lot of beautiful people on board, who share and care.

Oh no Karla...this is for the Chicken Quilt I got myself volunteered for. lol
Will be checking out more fabrics and chicken patterns. Not sure what to do, but showed hubby some of the already done tops on the board and he loves them!

Wow those are nice chicken fabrics. Good for you and thank you to Marica.

Move it, Move it Terri get those quilts going...LOL I just Love those Fabrics Now i never throught i would like Chickens but i do like those fabric. My kitchen is nother but Red Apples Might have to change into Chicken..mmmmmm that is a throught :roll:

Terri--I am so glad you like!!! I cannot wait to see your chicken blocks when you start working on them.

And wow-that package got there really fast!!! I mailed it Thursday afternoon and it arrived on Monday--from GA to GU--that's a looooooooong way, too.

Love the chicken fabric. Can't wait to see what you do with them. :lol:

It DID get here fast! I didn't even see the postmark. Usually I check it just to see how long it takes! Wow! Must have caught the first plane out and a fast one too! lol

Hubby loves the fabric. Showed him the other quilts and he says...you can do that! I just looked at him, laughed and said..what do you think THIS fabric is for? lol

Thanks again, SOOOOOO much!!!

Can't wait t see your chicken quilt! Love all the fabrics!

The May 2009 issue of the Quilter Magazine has a pattern called "Break Out" that is absolutely adorable with chickens breaking out of their shells. Uses a chick wire print for a background and has a chick print for the border.

You might like to take a look at it. http://www.thequiltermag.com/issues/current.shtml#

It's the next to the last pattern

That is a cute quilt! :)

Love the fabrics :D :D :D Can't wait to see your chicken quilt!

Don't get tooo far ahead of me Terri!!!! I hate being left behind! :shock:

OMGOSH>>>really cute.

Great fabric Terri. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Terri you're gonna have soooo much fun!!! How very sweet of Marcia to send you such wonderful chicken fabric!! You sure do deserve wonderful squishies!!! You are gonna give us a progression thread right? :D

You'll probably be done before I even start!

Marcia strikes again! Gotta love her!

Terri I am so happy you're going to start the chicken quilt addiction! I just loved sitting in the evenings and doing a buttonhole stitch around all my fused applique chicks. Most relaxing thing I've done in years.

My quilt top is sitting waiting to be put together, but the reno here just keeps going and going and the floors are too dusty to put a quilt together!

How many others are getting hooked by Marcia's influence? I hope there are lots out there!

We'll see I think when Mama starts the Chicken challenge thread!! :D

I'm not gonna commit myself to a challenge...but with all this "cheep" talk, I owe, kind of, a lap quilt, to a friend and she loves chickens and ducks. I haven't seen any cute duck blocks :roll: ...have already started collecting the chicken fabs though. :D
I never thought I would get spurred on about chickens, but sometimes they do come home to roost, so here I go...eventually, lol.
I like the whimsical one, Melissa did...can't match that, it's spectacular, but something fun :P , keeps my interest.
anywho, not sticking my neck out there :shock: , but if/when, I will post a pic...don't hold yer cotton picking, chicken plucking breath about when though :wink: .
By the way, LOL, WTG marcia :thumbup: , for sending those great fabs out in a box to Terri...they must have been in a hurry and flapped their wings so hard, got their in break neck time. we'll all have chick n' dumplins when they come...

Marcia, they're great, I like the egg one too...

Have fun Terri!

Oh Wow, Terri. I think Marcia is trying to tell you something. Isn't she a doll! We're all going to be waiting to see what you do with those adorable chicken fabrics. Now the pressure is on :twisted:

Thanks Jackie! I love the pressure!
How do you feel about the pressure of quilting it? lol

I've been thinking about the quilting actually....I guess its all in the ditch type??? I guess we'll have to see...hmmmm...something to think about anyway.
